...

• Help & Support: make a note of the number to call during the assessment if you experience any technical problems.

  • Up to date contact details for ISD can be found on the Help & Support page.

• Room check: Ideally the night, or in the morning, before check the room to ensure the all computers are working, all computers have keyboard and mice and that the room furniture is as required. You should also check that the lockdown browser is installed and working as expected on the computers by logging into WISEflow and starting a the FLOWlock and/or FLOWmulti with lock demo flow. Once you have confirmed that a demo will start, it can be exitedIf you encounter issues with testing the lockdown browser application, please refer to the staff support page for WISEflow.

• Identity checking and attendance:  Ask students to bring their UCL photo ID cards and check this off on the attendance sheet (above).

• Logging in: Ask students to log in to WISEflow as they arrive and navigate to the assessment to begin reading the assessment guidance. Allow at least 10 minutes before the assessment for all students to log in and open the lockdown browser flow. When students have successfully opened the lockdown browser, their screen will display a countdown timer to when the assessment will begin. 

• Assessment announcements: if you have enabled a participant password to enter the lockdown browser assessment, invigilators should announce this password at the start of the assessment and, if possible, display the password on a screen or whiteboard in the room. Students will not be able to log in until you give them the password.

• Allow extra time: If you are manually timing students (as recommended) you can make a note of any extra time a student needs due to technical, or other, reasons. 

  • If you are running a timed assessment, you will need to change the individual participation end date for individual students.
